"Abide in Me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself unless it abides in the vine, so neither can you unless you abide in Me. I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me and I in him, he bears much fruit, for apart from Me you can do nothing....

Apart from Me you can do nothing. All mans plans are folly apart from Me.

Do not think you can give a wink and a nod to Me and satisfy your commitment to Me. Those who choose the broad path will never please a holy God for their hopes and dreams are built on what man desires but not on My wishes, My desires or My ways. I desire obedience, I demand respect yet I AM denied both in this callous world of make believe.

Therefore I urge you, brethren, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies a living and holy sacrifice, acceptable to God, which is your spiritual service of worship. And do not be conformed to this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind, so that you may prove what the will of God is, that which is good and acceptable and perfect. Romans 12:1-2

But this is what I commanded them, saying, 'Obey My voice, and I will be your God, and you will be My people; and you will walk in all the way which I command you, that it may be well with you.' Jeremiah 7:23

You will never satisfy Me until you come on bended knee to acknowledge your sinfulness and total dependence on Me. Until then, you have no hope of eternal salvation.

You shall have no other gods before Me. Exodus 20:3

Before Me there is none other, yet man continues to walk the path of least resistance. It seems easier, so you think, to go along to get along, don't rock the boat you say, but all too soon you will realize this to be a very unwise choice that you have made. Great obstacles to your faith can only be torn down as you speak My Word. Use your tongue to speak My Word of Truth instead of using your tongue to slander, profane and ridicule My gospel."
